Apologies for cross-posting.
Call for papers for the 38th International Congress on Medieval Studies,
Kalamazoo, Michigan, May 8-11, 2003.
Art and the Religious Orders: Mendicant Orders
During the last few decades, the artistic patronage of the mendicant orders
has been the focus of intense study. While we now understand much more
about the ideologies of different mendicant orders as they are expressed
through images, much remains to be discussed regarding the historical and
contextual use of works, such as altarpieces, cult objects, relics and
reliquaries, and fresco cycles, in the dissemination of their messages to
their congregations. Papers concerning the less prominent mendicant orders,
such as the smaller mendicant orders emerging before 1215 or those
surviving after the Council of Lyon in 1274, are encouraged.
The session is one of three thematic sessions sponsored by the Italian Art
Society; the other two sessions are Art and the Religious Orders: Monastic
Orders and Art and the Religious Orders: Confraternities.
Please send abstracts for the mendicant session to Anne Derbes, either by
email ([log in to unmask]) or by post (504 Dartmouth Ave., Silver Spring,
MD 20910).
Deadline: September 15
